Ships In The Night

Like ships in the nightYou keep passing me byWe're just wasting timeTrying to prove who's right

And if it all goes crashing into the seaIf it's just you and meTrying to find the light

Like ships in the night letting cannon balls flySay what you mean and it turns to a fightFists fly from my mouth as it turns southYou're down the driveway and I'm on the couch

Chasing your dreams since the violent 5th gradeTrying to believe in your silent own wayCause we'll be ok, I'm not going away

Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drainAnd pops stayed the same and your moms moved awayHow many of our parents seem to make it anywayWe're just fumbling through the greyTrying to find a heart that's not walking away

I turn the lights down lowWalk these halls aloneWe can feel so far from so close

Like ships in the nightYou keep passing me byWe're just wasting timeTrying to prove who's rightAnd if it all goes crashing into the seaIf it's just you and me trying to find the lightLike ships in the nightYou're passing me by, you're passing me byLike ships in the night

And I'm at the airport waiting on a second planeHad to pack and you had cramps and I was lateHeaded to a red carpet, they won't know my nameRiding in silence all that we wanna sayAbout to board when you call on the phoneYou say "I'm sorry. I'll be waiting at home"Feels like we're learning this out on our ownTrying to find a way down the road we don't know

I turn the lights down lowWalk these halls aloneWe can feel so far from so close

Like ships in the nightYou keep passing me byWe're just wasting timeTrying to prove who's rightAnd if it all goes crashing into the seaIf it's just you and meTrying to find the lightLike ships in the nightYou're passing me byYou're passing me byLike ships in the night

I'm gonna find my way back to your side (X2)

Like ships in the nightYou keep passing me byWe're just wasting timeTrying to prove who's rightAnd if it all goes crashing into the seaIf it's just you and meTrying to find the lightLike ships in the nightYou're passing me byYou're passing me byLike ships in the night
